   Why a problem? The set consists of Charles, William, Harry, George,   
   Charlotte, Louis, Archie and Lilibet. Should be easy enough to find when   
   the last of them dies, and they have 21 years to notice it.   
      
   Mind you, none of the reports seem to include the actual language used,   
   so picking for loopholes is kinda pointless.
